A
A deer drinks from a pond.
B
A robin lays eggs.
C
A fish eats an insect.
D
Bacteria break down the remains of a dead plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A simple example would be of abiotic interaction in plants. Water, sunlight and carbon dioxide are necessary for plants to grow. The biotic interaction is that plants use water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to create their own nourishment through a process called photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biotic and abiotic factors are what make up ecosystems. Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem; such as plants, animals, and bacteria, while abiotic are non-living components; such as water, soil and atmosphere. The way these components interact is critical in an ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most critical interactions in an ecosystem between the biotic and abiotic environment is photosynthesis, the base chemical reaction that drives most life on earth. Plants and algae use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create the energy they need to grow and live via photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals are examples of abiotic factors. Biotic factors are organisms that are alive or were once alive in the ecosystem. Abiotic factors in a pond are all elements other than living, or biotic, factors that are present in or affect the ecosystem of a pond.
